healthy, and unpretending story._"--STANDARD.

tenderness on so many of the relations of women,

entering a Sisterhood._"--SPECTATOR.

With a brief sketch of the History of the various schools of
Painting from the thirteenth century to the eighteenth, inclusive.
By KATE THOMPSON. Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Extra
fcap. 8vo. 6_s._
"_A very remarkable memoir of the several great schools
of painting, and a singularly lucid exhibition of the
principal treasures of all the chief and some of the
smaller picture galleries of Europe. This unpretending
book which does so much for the history of art is also
a traveller's guide-book; a guide-book, moreover, so
convenient in arrangement and comprehensive in design
that it will not fail to become the companion of the
majority of English tourists.... The large crowd of
ordinary connoisseurs who only care to know a little about
pictures, and the choicer body of intelligent students of
all artistic objects that fall in their way, will extol
the compact little volume as the model of what an art
explorer's_ vade mecum _should be. It will also be found
in the highest degree serviceable to the more learned
connoisseurs and erudite authorities on the matter of
art._"--MORNING POST.
